In other words, the point of this video game is to show off how great the JavaScript and WebGL improvements are in the latest Firefox release. Mozilla developed BananaBread by porting a complete C++ game engine to the Web using Emscripten. You can check it out for yourself here: developer.mozilla.org. Mozilla says the demo should work in any browser that supports the necessary web standards: Pointer lock, WebGL, compressed textures, fullscreen, and typed arrays.

Why I Like People with Unconventional Resumés - Claudio Fernández-Aráoz

But things have changed in recent decades. First, knowledge has become as rapidly obsolete as universally available. Second, we live in an increasingly uncertain and volatile world where, I often say, even the past has become unpredictable. And, finally, business has become more global and diverse. In this new normal, experience and knowledge are less relevant, while the abilities to learn and adapt, to be resilient and to connect with others are ever more crucial.
